I'm building packages on quad CPU Sun machine, I thought setting MAKE_FLAGS was
the only way to start multiple make jobs. The package above was failing to
build, so I set MAKE_FLAGS+=-j1, hoping it would eliminate race conditions, but
it was still failing.

If I set MAKE_JOBS=6, do I need to set WRAPPER_UPDATE_CACHE=no? I remember a
long time ago, without setting this variable packages would fail to build with
strange errors.
